MCCLINTOCK STAYS. The RINO goes. 21% is substantial. I didn't realize he had such a large percentage of GOP support. If the Swartzenager republicans made a gutsy move and switched their support to the real republican, McClintock he might actually have a chance.

McClintock might be a better ideological choice, but it looks like Arnold has more appeal across the political spectrum and it will likely take more than just Conservative votes to beat the Dems in California. If the Dems lose, it's a very big deal with 2004 implications. The ball is now in McClintock's court.

LOL! Sure...McClintock stays...Cruz will be elected governor...and the Cal GOP will take another step toward permanent irrelevancy. Y'all must love the taste of defeat year after year to be this self-punishing on yourselves.

1. Arnold is the only Republican candidate with enough momentum to be elected.
2. Even if he doesn't win, he will take votes away from Independent and liberal candidates like Arianna Huffington and Cruz Bustamante.
3. This is the best oppertunity for Arnold's political career because it's unlikely that the Republican Party would elect him to run in a normal election. He isn't conservative enough on social issues.
4. Unless the conservative backlash in Californian politics is abnormally strong, no candidate will be successful without a pro-gay rights and pro-abortion platform.
5. Arnold's advantage over McClintock is in his political inexperience. The uninformed public is tired of politicians who squander the people's money, and they will see Arnold as a successful business man who has acquired his wealth through honorable, legal means.
6. Gray Davis is a {obscenity deleted}. Just thought I'd mention that.
7. The most damaging scenario for Arnold would be that his star-appeal wears off and his percentages slip way down.
8. Even if the aforementioned scenario takes place, #2 will come into effect, thus opening the door for McClintock and a Republican victory.
9. McClintock is too conservative to win on his own. The liberals that dislike Gray Davis will rather have Cruz Bustamante as a replacement.
10. Bustamante will have the vote of nearly all Democrats and many independents because he has experience and all the right politics.
My conclusion: Ah-nuld is the most likely Republican candidate, but Cruz Bustamante will win.

"YOU GET ARNOLD OUT OF THE RACE. BUZZ OFF VERONICA. MCCLINTOCK STAYS. The RINO goes." and the converse....since a vote for McClintock is a vote for Bustamonte .....enjoy

Don't tell Veronia what to do. I'll tell you what I am going to do, I am going to be saying over and over that I hope the blame gets placed squarely on McClintock's shoulders when his fat ego ends up causing the state of California to slide into the Pacific Ocean!
